this is a list of the current oldest people in the world.
The worlds oldest person died today at the age of 115, or maybe 114
In 1960 the estimated number of people over the age of a hundred IN THE WORLD was thought to be less than 10,000. The president of the united states sent a hand written letter to each and every US citizen that celebrated their hundredth birthday.
There are an estimated 70,490 people over the age of 100 as of September 1, 2010 in the united states alone, and another 44,449 in Japan (source)
Some say we could live a lot longer than that.
